PMDBM Symbol Translations:
The character which precedes and follows your symbols is defined in the
configuration. For the purpose of documentation, I will use the "@"
character, which is the default. At this time, while care should still
be used in the symbol's selection, translation only occurs for symbols
in the header and footer files, so the risk is minimal. The symbols
may use lower, upper or mixed case.
The following are the supported symbol translations which are done in
the header and footer files at the start of the edit session:
@TO@ - The recipient of the message being replying to
@FROM@ - The Sender of the message being replied to
@FIRST@ - The first name of the Sender
@LAST@ - The last name of the Sender
@DATE@ - Current system date
@TIME@ - Current system time
@MSGDATE@ - Date from header of message being replied to
@MSGTIME@ - Time from header of message being replied to
@MSGNUM@ - Message Number of message being replied to
@SUBJ@ - Message Subject from the header
@ME@ - Your BBS username
@MYFIRST@ - Your first name
@MYLAST@ - Your surname
@CONF@ - The current Conference number
@CONFNO@ - The current conference name
@MSGNUM@ - The Message Number assisgned by the BBS, to the
message being replied to.
Usenet Specific Symbols:
@UAddress - Address to whom the message will be sent!! First
choice will be address selected from from a .CCU file.
If a CCU isn's used, then it will translate the same
as @UFrom@
@UFrom@ - sender of USENET Message being responded to
@UTo@ - Recipient of USENET Message (typically ALL, or you)
@UIdent@ - USENET message identification
@USubj@ - USENET subject
@UGroup@ - USENET newsgroup to which the original message had
been posted.
NOTE: HEADER and FOOTER must be placed in the MAIN directory.
Support is provided for a second set of files, called
HEADER.NET and FOOTER.NET, used only for USENET messages.
The Following symbols are translated at the end of the Message Edit:
Any of the above, if found in the TagLine, will be translated
after the edit.
Additionally, the following symbols will not be translated until
the edit session is ended. The symbols are the same length as the
string which will replace them, so that proper alignment is
possible during the edit. Because translation occurs after the
edit, they may appear anywhere in the message.
@SYS-DATE@ - Current System Date
@SYTIME@ - Current System Time
